FAST-PACED FOODIE
For the working mom who’s concerned with healthy weekday meals, look no further than Gwyneth Paltrow’s third and latest cookbook, It’s all Easy. Gwyneth teams up with Goop food editor Thea Baumann for a fresh crop of recipes low in sugar and gluten, like pasta carbonara or cauliflower and kimchi fried rice.
Gwyneth Paltrow's It's All Easy: Delicious Weekday Recipes for the Super-Busy Home Cook, $42, Indigo.ca

CLEAN AND CLASSIC
If she's not quite a DSquared2 kind of gal, look to fellow Canadian twin design duo Byron and Dexter Peart, who recently debuted a women's shoe line that incorporates the clean, minimalist aesthetic of their hugely successful Want Les Essentials brand. Mom of three Kate Winslet would look incredible in these classic Lennon sneakers, oozing West Sussex chic!
Lennon Sneaker, $475, wantlesessentiels.com

HOMEY HEALTH NUT
New mom and avid juicer Blake Lively already has a love for all things Canadian (hubby is Vancouver’s Ryan Reynolds!) so we think she would be just as smitten by Breville's The Juice Fountain with Cold Spin Technology. The juice jug can be stored directly in the door of your refrigerator and its sealed lid keeps juice fresher for up to 3 days.
Breville Juice Fountain™ Cold, $269.99, Breville.ca

BREAKFASTS AT TIFFANY'S
For mothers with sophisticated and timeless taste, the Tiffany & Co T Narrow Wire Bracelet in 18-carat rose gold would make a perfect addition to her heirloom collection. Beautiful alone or stacked in an arm party, this piece would most definitely suit the always lovely and dainty mom of one Natalie Portman.
T Narrow Wire Bracelet, $1,700, Tiffany.ca

BLOOMING WITH ELEGANCE
Fresh flowers for Mother’s Day is kind of old hat, but fresh flowers on this Ted Baker Vonessa 100% silk scarf will never have an expiry date! This gorgeous piece can be worn as a cape or a traditional scarf and would make a wonderful gift for ageless supermodel and mother of three Christie Brinkley.
Ted Baker Vonessa Forget Me Not Silk Scarf, $209, tedbaker.com/ca

MOM ABOUT TOWN
The vibrant Kate Spade New York candy-striped case is an essential protective measure for moms’ new iPhone 6. A stylish accent for working moms on the go, like Kate Spade devotee Jessica Alba or New York-to-Paris commuter Scarlett Johansson.
Kate Spade New York Candy Stripe Multi iPhone 6/6s Case, $49.95, Indigo.ca

BOHEMIAN BEAUTY
If your mom's got a bit of flower child in her but she still enjoys the finer things, this fun and affordable piece is right up her alley. BCBG's Pave Feather Necklace with stone embellishments can be worn to highlight an exposed décolletage, like on supermodel moms Elle Macpherson and Heidi Klum, or layered with other chains over a peasant blouse.
BCBG Pave Feather Necklace, $85, bcbg.com

MOTHER NATURE
Canadian wellness company Saje’s 100% natural perfume collection introduces mom to five sensuous and relaxing scents (Yoga, Tantra, Goddess, Shanthi, Ananda) in a sleek and convenient carrying case. Each blend comes with its own special gemstone roller ball and a meditative healing mantra on the side of the bottle. Nature-enthused mom goddesses Nelly Furtado and Alanis Morissette are perfect candidates.
Saje Natural Perfume Collection, $42.95, Saje.ca
SLEEP-DEPRIVED IN STYLE
Karen Walker sunglasses are the best bet for the sleep-deprived mom who's also got a signature style all her own. These rose-hued stunners would make an excellent paparazzi shield for first-time mom Anne Hathaway who recently gave birth to a baby boy with a surprisingly non-Hollywood name: Jonathan.
Karen Walker One Astronaut Rose Pink Sunglasses, $415, karenwalker.com

BEACH WITH BABE
For moms who frequent luxury beach locales, Yosuzi Pom Pom hats are a must-have in the suitcases of the St Barths jet set, supermodels and celebrity mom Kristen Bell. Made in Venezuela with a charitable bent, a portion of each sale goes to Cepin, a non profit organization dedicated to the health and education of vulnerable Guajiro Indian children.
Yosuzi Pom Pom Hats, $595, blubird.ca or yosuzi.com

LUXE COFFEE LOVER
Does your mom's perfect Sunday include indulging in a luxe latte or decadent cappuccino? If so, the Latissima Pro is the only machine she will ever need, and with a sleek and modern design that will look thoroughly modern on her marble countertop. Former spokesperson and mother of two Penelope Cruz adores the one-touch ease of this particular model for all of her caffeinated breaks.
Nespresso Latissima Pro, $599, nespresso.com/ca

HIGH-TECH HYGIENE
If your leading lady's lives on the cutting-edge of the tech world, this revolutionary and lightweight silicone toothbrush by Swedish brand Foreo will suit her tech, tooth and design needs. The Issa is ultra hygienic and works on eight different pulsating speeds, using smart technology to remind the user when to move around and finish brushing. A great Mother’s Day gift for wide-smiled beauties like Julia Roberts.

POSH PAMPERING
A thoughtful and economical gift set that gives moms permission to take precious time for themselves, Aveda’s Stress Fix gift set comes with a candle, cleansing oil and body crème all made using a soothing blend of organic lavender, lavandin and clary sage from the French Alps. A much-needed day of pampering and relaxation is just what the doctor ordered for Aveda advocate and mom Mary Louise Parker.

FASHION-FORWARD FITNESS
Beyoncé's new activewear line Ivy Park (named in part after her daughter Blue Ivy) is a brand that aims to start a cultural movement in the vocabulary we use around all women. Ivy Park’s ethos promotes words like “strength” and “wellness,” as opposed to surface labels like “pretty” or “beautiful.” The colour block body suit paired with black capri pants will inspire your favourite woman of all to prioritize her health!
Ivy Park Long sleeve Colour Block Bodysuit, $220, and Biker Colour Block Capri, $98, thebay.com

GLUTTON FOR GOLD
A push present, perhaps? When new mom Chrissy Teigan needs to send her usual firecracker tweets or post blissful photos of baby Luna on Instagram, why not help her do so on a rose-gold Macbook that's as pretty as she is. With up to 10 hours of battery life in utter silence (perfect when baby's sleeping beside mom!), this of-the-minute laptop is also every gold lover's dream.
256 GB Rose Gold Macbook, $1,549, apple.com/ca

CHIC CHOCOLATE LOVER
Who needs a daily dose of chocolate more than busy moms? If yours has a sweet tooth, this charming box of chocolates from Charbonnel et Walker in collaboration with Alice Through The Looking Glass looks as pretty on her coffee table as its contents taste - plus, mom doesn't have to tell anyone about the milk, dark and white chocolate goodies within!
Charbonnel et Walker Alice Through The Looking Glass Book, $42, holtrenfrew.com

BONA FIDE TRENDSETTER
For the mother of all trends, whose style is head and shoulders above the rest, this Mackage leather tote bag is the perfect addition to her carefully curated wardrobe. Part of their new chevron collection, the roomy tote with an interior zippered pouch and signature arrow charm would look great on the arm of Mackage stalwart Madonna.
